I'm sitting here impatiently waiting for a silkie to go broody so I can set eggs. I'm looking forward to some more little white chicks.

The currently broody hens have been sitting too long and should be coming off the nests soon.

This time of year, it's a bit early for pullets to play the broody card. Give them a month or two of laying.

Seems like it's the ones who start laying mid summer that don't lay much before setting

Boy they have you well trained.

I spent weeks shoving boys into their house at night before they got the idea. They put themselves to bed now.

Tonight was beak filing for a pullet. She went to bed upset with me.
